Sypnos Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 I have had some issues with my PC, so I had to reinstall my OS.I had a syncronized folder and now I want to sync that again without overwriting all the files I already have.When I attempt to connect the folder a message appears: "The folder is not empty: sync anyway?".Does BTSync detect the files it has already downloaded and just starts syncing new stuff or does it sync all over again?I just need to know this.

kramb0l Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 If the files are the same on both devices, nothing will happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sypnos Posted November 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 Actually I am doing that thing with the shared folder, so some people write and others can just read the content.Is it the same thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 @Sypnos If you add the folder with the same key you had before - some of files in folder you add might be replaced with newer files, updated on other peers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
